Newlyweds Can Now Register at www.HoneymoonWishes.com for their Getaway and Special Experiences at Romantic Saint Lucia Hideaway

St. Lucia, West Indies — Sure, toasters and towels are great. But why not register for something you’ll really enjoy after the wedding: an unforgettable honeymoon at Calabash Cove Resort & Spa, a romantic seaside retreat on the idyllic island of Saint Lucia?

Calabash Cove is now a partner resort on Honeymoonwishes.com, the leading online honeymoon registry provider. Couples can visit Calabash Cove’s website and link to http://calabashcove.honeymoonwishes.com  where they can register for resort credits and a host of romantic amenities and adventures during their stay, such as a couples massage, sunset cruise, private dinner on the beach, and snorkeling, horseback-riding and rainforest zipline excursions. All gifts and credits can be purchased on the site by friends and family members and transferred directly to the resort for the couple to use and enjoy hassle-free once they arrive.

Calabash Cove managing director, Konrad Wagner, said he anticipates the Honeymoonwishes.com registry to be particularly popular with established couples who already have their household basics covered.

“What these couples want is time with each other in a peaceful, romantic setting and once-in-a-lifetime experiences here they will treasure always,” he said.

Couples can also use their Calabash Cove registry site on Honeymoonwishes.com to create a complimentary website, blog and photo album with photos from their wedding and honeymoon.

The link is a personal URL created for each couple. Wagner expects the online photo album option to get a lot of use from newlyweds who want to share the views from their honeymoon hideaway at Calabash Cove, with its stunning ocean vistas and exotic natural surroundings and unique, luxurious accommodations.

In addition to the Honeymoonwishes.com registry, Calabash Cove also offers a separate gift service available for guests who may not have registered. “The resort’s gift service is a great way to surprise guests, whether they are here on their honeymoon or celebrating another landmark occasion, with a special gift during their stay.” For more information about the resort’s gift service, visit http://www.calabashcove.com/gifts.htm.
